Ever find a video game in your Easter basket?

[ShinobiMan]

First of all, Happy Easter! May you all have a blessed day.

Second, in order to keep this on topic for classic gaming, have any of you ever received a video game in your Easter basket?

Obviously I'm referring to when you were a kid. I remember once receiving an Easter basket with two Game Gear games nestled with the eggs. I think they were "X-Men" and "Sonic Chaos". Ah those were the days. Video games and chocolate rabbits.

I'm pretty sure I got some chocolate rabbits with shareware DOS games as a kid. Can't remember which games though.

I also remember getting Need For Speed III/Moto Racer in a double pack around Easter when it came out too.

I remember finding F-Zero X under all the green grass in my basket one year. Now that was pretty awesome.

Heh, MadWorld just last year

[Misto]

Haven't gotten a video game in quite a few years. I used to get a GBA, Gamecube, or N64 games though when I was younger.

Although I did get $50 this year, so I could buy games with that

Super Mario Bros. 3.

Best Easter Ever.

I remember getting Bonanza Brothers in a basket hidden under a bunch of chocolate.

This is the Easter Basket my wife made me this year:



I haven't ripped into it yet since the other half is still sleeping, but from what I can make out it contains:

• A HALO Special Edition XBOX 360 console
• A HALO Special Edition XBOX console
• HALO 3: ODST
• HALO Legends DVD
• A canvas HALO UNSC Messenger Bag
• A canvas HALO wallet
• 3 Pewter HALO pins
• 3 HALO patches
• A plasma Sword keychain
• Turtles candies
• Jelly Belly jelly beans (10 flavor box)
• Kit Kat minis 10 pack
• Snickers minis 10 pack
• 2 carrot shaped bags of Reese's Pieces

I'd never gotten a Special Edition (original) XBOX before, so it was really great to finally get my hands on one for the amazing price of 'gift'! The disc tray on my old XBOX is sort of wonky, too (you have to bump the console sometimes to get it to eject), so it's extra nice to have a new one.

Donkey Kong Country one year.

Haven't gotten any in a while, but one year back when I was a kid, I found Mega Man 6 in one basket, and Turtles in Time in another. Not much is gonna top that, I'm just happy to get a little candy these days!

[Tron 2.0]

Never,when i was a kid mostly candy and a toy some times such as a star wars figure etc.Though in the early 80's i didn't have a atari 2600 not untile afther the market crashed for consoles.

I loved yo-yos. Then later, it became a fad and you got all those weird ones that would auto retract... After that I was told that these were originally invented as weapons and I loved the idea that an intended tool of violence was turned into an innocent play-thing. I got back into them right after that happened. I still have my pro-comp yo-yo I got then. Still throw it around when I'm lost in thought about other things. It's like chewing pens/pencils for others.

Agreed on the kites too. I laughed so hard when the Big Bang Theory guys went to fight kites... I'd do it too.
